To clarify this -- the API would be in the form of a library, included by
the code, e.g.

import cache
cache.get('some key')

and the cache would have a configurable backend in memory or memcached or
redis.

Pvo, does this mean your objection is irrelevant for now (changing from
in-memory to a datastore is just a config change) or were you unhappy with
the fact that the datastore wouldn't be shared between the workers and the
hosts?
